This should be fixed now as a side effect of the proper cross-grading
support I implemented some weeks ago, the bogus disappearing was due to
the previous broken in-core db layout. I just tested this locally now to
make sure that's the case though, here's the session (on amd64 though,
but it should be equivalent):
$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
$ dpkg-query -f '${db:Status-Abbrev} ${Package} ${Architecture} ${Version}\n'
-W linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
